Anyhow, i am now working on a new Raid project in Warcraft 3 using Blizzard's models to make the most accurate rendition of what an Azjol'Nerub raid would be like. It will be something similar to Naxxramas with four wings and a fifth wing for the Nerubian Palace (where you will fight their queen)

Now that terrain is done, i will be working on the bosses from here on, depending on the speed i produce them i will update this thread (each boss may take a week or so, so i'll try not to necro post, but we'll see) Thanks for looking!

- There will be 31 heroes to choose from, that's all 10 WoW classes (minus monk) and their 3 specs (4 for druid).
- There will be a 5 man mode and a 10 man mode, depending on your playstyle - Each with normal and heroic difficulties.
- There will be 20 (yes 20!) bosses, all of which are listed below:The Nerubian Wing:
Xilik and Viszara (Nerubian Caster and Warrior duo)
Anub'anez (Sand Crypt Lord)
Maijronn (Nerubian Tank, based off Mantid Tank)
Nerubian Council (Four Nerubian Viziers)The Plague Wing:
Fungueb (Fungal beast - like Loatheb from Naxxramas)
Pluggion (Flesh Giant - like Grobbulus)
Pestiliac (Green Fire Spider)
Marajius (Plague Lich)The Scourge Wing:
The Bone Collector (Bone Wraith - like Lord Marrowgarr)
Igrubb the Contagious (Flesh Giant - like Rotface)
Arctirigosa (Female Frost Wyrm)
Uther (I have a model of what could be Uther if he were a Deathknight, but i'm currently working on the lore behind it, this is subject to change)The Faceless Wing
The Faceless Army (Fight an onslaught of faceless ones including their General)
Sr'mil (Faceless one Caster Boss)
Glacimaw (Giant jormungar / Worm)
Zrinnix (Giant four legged faceless one)The Palace
Trial of the Spider (Gauntlet of spiders with one large palace spider guard at the end)
Anub'arak (Defending the entrance of the Palace)
Nezar'azret (Queen of the Nerubians)The Crypt of the Forgotten One
Ja'orath (A forgotten one, like those seen during the Dragon Soul raid) - HEROIC ONLY

Maybe we will see some more of it when / if northrend ever gets revamped, maybe the Nerubian Queen will step forth, who knows. I was thinking about including Yogg Saron in this, however, instead, i've opted for the Forgotten One that is confronted in Warcraft 3, i've always thought of the two as separate entities.

If you're making it 'the way it should have been' then include Yogg'Saron and Anub'Arak.

Do you have sources for that? I am not doubting that, I just don't remember them planning AN as a raid then scrapping it like Abyssal Maw.

It was originally planned as a whole underground zone like Deepholm, but they lacked tech to do it right. Think GC said in either a tweet or interview that he missed the fact they weren't able to give us a decent azjol nerub zone.

Not sure about daily hub but it was suppose to be a zone.

"And when you can't go overland? Go under, through the underground cavern of Azjol-Nerub, home of the spiderlike Nerubian race that was one of the first to succumb en masse to Arthas' Scourge (old-school WarCraft players know them as Crypt Fiends and Crypt Lords). "It's going to be exterior terrain, but underground," says Stockton of World of WarCraft's first subterranean zone. "It'll feel like you're in a cave, but it'll be gigantic. Buildings, temples -- a look and feel very similar to Naxxramas, since [the Nerubians] are where the Scourge stole that architecture from." "

I always thought Anub'Arak was screwed over a bit in wotlk, there really should have been Azjol' Nerub raid.

...though not clearly as screwed over as Murozond. The infinite dragonflight could have had their own expansion spanning thousands of years of WoW... and the whole story was finished in a faceroll dungeon.
